Fearful of rising crime and vagrancy, Denver-area business owners are increasingly patrolling their property or hiring expensive private security.
Isenberg’s guards police the properties and remove disruptive people outside the property boundaries.The crisis isn’t just downtown.
He said a homeless man moved into a utility room at one property in Aurora and was discovered only because he was grilling food inside and the smoke wafted within view of Harris’ maintenance staff. Other property owners report similar problems with vacant buildings poised for development: squatters move in and other burglars strip the property of anything valuable, like copper.
“If I ever ask if they want it taken away, they say no. They are willing to pay to keep property cleaner and fewer vagrants,” Harris said.Harris said he checks in on one vacant property he’s owned for decades at the corner of Colfax and Wadsworth once a week, and needs to call Lakewood police each time.
“When you look at San Francisco or Portland, the method of being nice and trying to be helpful is not working.”
